The annual program was set up in 1966 to foster American #fiction, #nonfiction & #poetry. The latest iteration of the fellowship offered fiction & creative non-fiction #writers a $50k #grant. Applications were due in March & notifications were to go out in Dec. But last week, notices were sent to applicants stating: "The #NEA has cancelled the FY 2026 #CreativeWriting Fellowships program."The email…states that the NEA is canceling grants that exist outside of the #Trump admin's *priorities*.

@Nonilex The man doesn’t read so why would he want anyone to write books 😵💫But seriously, we should create a People‘s Endowment for the Arts, money that goes directly to creators without government intervention

@Nonilex Nothing is more creative than #47's policies.You've never seen such creativity.Or at least, nothing as divorced from reality.

@Nonilex Makes sense, someone who doesn't, perhaps can't, read isn't going to see much value in writing.

@Nonilex Are they replacing it with a creative accounting fellowship. I would think Trmp would use that.
